The 3d Artistry of Satira Capriccio

About Satira Capriccio

About Satira Capriccio

I could always be found in a corner reading or drawing as a child. In my teens, I began oil painting and eventually took a few oil painting classes at the local community college. As an adult, I studied art with my primary focus on sculpture and sculptural ceramics. I still prefer drawing over oil painting, but it was sculpting that won my heart.

In 1980, I was a founding member of a cooperative art gallery in Eugene, Oregon. Over the next six years, my sculptures were shown in open and juried exhibitions in Eugene and Portland, Oregon.

In 1994, I was an Artist in Residence on Nantucket Island for six months and remained on the island working for the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts (NISDA) through the summer. Though I was accepted into a local artist’s gallery, I left Nantucket before becoming a member.

For the next several years, I focused on my career as an application developer until the summer of 2006, when I picked up DAZ Studio, and later Poser 5. From the beginning, I was driven to create my own characters, and then began creating clothing for my personal use with Marvelous Designer 2, and then Silo 2.

On May 15, 2015, I contacted HiveWire 3D about a project I was developing for Dawn. With encouragement from both Lisa Buckalew and Chris Creek, co-founders of HiveWire 3D, my first rather ambitious project for Dawn was released on March 13, 2016.

My 3d artwork is rendered in Poser using purchased content or content I create. In addition to a base render, I will also create multiple mask renders or partial renders. These renders are then combined in Photoshop and enhanced with postwork through the application of Photoshop, Filter Forge, and Alien Skin filters and actions and the use of overlays. My characters tend to be otherworldly, with a touch of fae.
